Baby sea turtles hatch on their own, dig out of their under ground nests and find the ocean -- all without the help of their mother or father. Once they leave the beach the high seas become their nursery. Where do they go? This lecture covers both the process of how to answer the question and the results of our innovative studies tracking neonate sea turtles with satellites for weeks to months to find out where they go to grow.

An intriguing aspect of sea turtles is that they have environmentally determined sex (no X or Y chromosomes like in people or other mammals). Because of this key trait, most populations of sea turtles produce strongly females-biased clutches. So where do the boys come from? This mystery is solved through a combination of basic science, understanding, accessible modeling and the history of turtles.
